I just had some crazy Trumper spend over an hour on facebook trying to convince me that this article http://www.cnn.com/2016/10/28/politics/erica-garner-hillary-clinton-wikileaks/index.html "Eric Garner's daughter blasts Clinton campaign after WikiLeaks emails" Is damning evidence that the Clinton campaign is trying to use Eric Garner's death to push an anti gun agenda because one person said, of an anti-gun editorial, 'Are you sure we don't want to mention Eric Garner, his daughter might flip out if we don't' and his daughter saw this and flipped out.

Soviet Commubot posted:An IRL friend of mine (and goon as well) was on Medicaid and disability from 2009? to 2012 because he had cancer and he had to give away his car and some other poo poo so he could be under the resource cap. Of course, since he was a dirty poor the cancer wasn't detected until fairly late in the game and it took months for him to get enrolled in the various programs that would let him get actually treated. Since all of that took forever his cancer wasn't treated until fairly late in the game and he died in 2012 at the age of 30, with his diagnosis being made in 2008 or so. I'm so sorry. This country can be so hosed up and terrible. I am still shocked that owning a car counts as a resource against you for getting Medicaid and government services. In most places you absolutely need a car to get anywhere and do anything and it is completely stupid. For awhile, I got around it because my car wasn't in my name. It was in my mom's name because she signed for the loan (I had no credit at the time and the dealership didn't even want me on the paperwork.) I still made all the payments on the car. Later, my mom would exploit the fact that she technically owned my car to get a title loan on it to bail my drug addicted older brother out of jail only for him to be put right back in again for not paying child support. I managed to pay off the title loan with FAFSA money and miraculously made her give me my car back and convinced her to transfer the car over to me. Upon transferring to myself to make sure that bullshit never happened again I, predictably, was disqualified for Medicaid thanks to now owning a car. :thatspoverty: In short, anyone that thinks being on the system is some lazy laid back luxury lifestyle is a loving dumbass and has no idea how much of a juggling act it is to insure your survival. quote:This American Life episodes I need to listen to these.

You can't own a car at all? The last few posts made me curious and see what restrictions my state has and they say you can have a car as long as the market value is <= 4500$. Not exactly sure how crappy/not good that is. I mean I know it's definately used. Also restrictions on bank account amounts seem BS, though the amounts I saw seem reasonable.

A friend of mine got pulled over in Oregon recently (he was in a parking lot in his car at night, while black) and he ended up on probation and lost his access to OHP, which leaves him literally bouncing around on the bus all day between POs and doctors and pharmacies to buy a week's worth of his medication at a time because he lost his job while he was locked up for driving while suspended. I mean sure, he's a criminal because he repeatedly drives without legal paperwork, but now he's pretty much unemployable because he can't function without his meds, and spends all his time riding buses between probation checklist activities. gropemotron posted:Uhhh  part for me is that he's linking to Scott Adams, who's literally a cartoonist...

Smart purchases like bulk dry foods ensure there is some money left over for other things as opposed to helping corporate sponsors like Tyson.

I guess I can understand that you don't want aid programs going to help people in rich families who are living off of inherited wealth, but I have a weird feeling that for every case where some rich guy is milking the system for free healthcare, there's a thousand poor people who have to pawn their assets to see a doctor.

Why would a rich guy ever milk the system for free healthcare? I am on my dad's insurance until April (when I turn 26) and if I can't get a decent job by then (unlikely because of my degree and the fact that I turned 16 right at the beginning of the great recession, then was flat out unable to work through college because it was college or work, not both because I was having nervous breakdowns already due to a large amount of issues in my life at the time) then I get to go on AHCCCS fully (I already have it since I am on disability for ASD). Except, oh no, my psychiatrist doesn't accept AHCCCS, and I sort of need that prescription for Prozac otherwise things are going to go really badly. And IF I can find someone who does accept it, well, then I end up having to be reevaluated for some reason, even though my disability hasn't gone away, and never will. Basically, being poor and having a disability suck in this country.

I saw some big outrage thing a while back because of a picture of a family receiving aid where they were making popcorn in one of those hot air popcorn makers. People were outraged that a family that could afford a $100 popcorn machine was getting medical aid or something. I can sort of understand the outrage if this family really did use their limited funds to pay full price for something with such low utility. But that's probably not what happened. Stupid gadgets like that are the kinds of things that middle class families buy, and then realize that they're gigantic wastes of space, so they sell them at yard sales or dump them off at goodwill. The can of popcorn kernels probably cost more, and it's a nice fun luxury for a family that doesn't have a huge budget. Who am I to begrudge someone a few smiles once or twice a week.

I am in no way an expert on current dental technology but I swear I remember being told a gold tooth is actually cheaper than a porcelain crown and the preferred solution in many cases (no idea what those cases actually are). This was quite a few years ago, and I think gold was much cheaper, but let's be honest that forward is ancient too. The fact that it calls out a cell with a custom ringtone as a luxury really ages it. People used to pay a whole 99 cents for a custom R&B ringtone!!

The type of people to type up a story like that legitimately believe that if you're poor enough to need government aid then you shouldn't own any "non essentials" whatsoever. If they could get away with telling The Poors to wear nothing but burlap sacks and eat nothing but a soy paste nutrient slurry, they would. Any use of money at all that does not directly stave off death is Abusing the System and Stealing our Taxes.

So one of my paranoid conspiracy nut friends (think numerous Infowars links) posted some editorial saying Clinton needs to step down from the nomination. https://truthkings.com/chicago-tribune-becomes-1st-major-paper-ask-clinton-step/ http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/columnists/kass/ct-hillary-clinton-emails-kass-1030-20161028-column.html It's basically a ton of concern trolling about how the Democrats should have higher moral standards, complete with a bunch of factual errors (Comey did not "reopen the investigation"). Then we have a discussion. Black is me, red is OP, I don't know who blue is.
